IDG - Case Study

How we met the challenge

IDG (International Data Group) is the world's leading technology media,
research and events company. Our challenge was to improve their office
space and cater for growth.

With existing cellular offices lining the only source of natural light
one challenge was to create a scheme where all the open plan areas had natural
light whilst not reducing the number of offices. By stripping out the front
wall to each office we were able to replace it with silicon jointed glass
partitioning. With the use of Interior Design we applied coloured
manifestation film to the new partitions setting the mood for different areas.

Our revamp of the existing cellular offices meant that they could double up
as meeting rooms when employees are not in. We also incorporated phone booths
to host conference / private calls, a tea-point (which has pigeon holes) and
a white touchdown multipurpose area in the middle.

The open plan area was created using a furniture bench system which was
finished in grey metal, for the framework, with a walnut work-surface.
Incorporating full height storage allowed for a more efficient use of
space with informal areas divided by low storage.

With the use of interior design the reception was finished with a white
gloss desk and coloured glass panels. This finish highlights the sense of
quality that is evident throughout the office refurbishment. Knoll seating
was used to provide a sophisticated informal meeting area for clients and
employees. Our clean modern reception design has since been implemented
as the global standard across the company.
